Everything Under the Son
Because JESUS is my everything
6 Years...
Saturday, January 27, 2007
Yes. I know. It seems that there is so much to celebrate here at the Jones house! Today is one of those days. Today, Nathaniel and I are celebrating six years of marriage! I can honestly say that I love him even more today than the day we said our vows. Has it all been easy...no. Has it been a piece of cake...no. Is it worth the work and effort we have put into it...yes! A thousand times yes! Marriage is worth it!
So, Nathaniel has suggested that I share with you the festivities of the day. We know you will find great humor in our celebration! We spent some time at the dog show...Nathaniel's brother and wife were showing their dogs, so we stopped by for a visit. It is always fun to get to spend a little time with them! Afterwards, we spent MUCH time trying to decide what to do next. Is was just too strange having the kids taken care of and free time out on the town. We ended up walking through an antique store, browsing the clearance table at the used book store, and then no special day would be complete without a trip to the store for toilet paper. (If you remember, we had gone to buy toilet paper just hours before Nathaniel proposed!)
Then it was off to dinner and a movie (which we have not done in over a year!). It was great to spend time with my best friend. I love 'dating' my husband! He makes me feel special, important, and most of all, loved! If I had to chose again, I would still choose Nathaniel. I would marry him all over again...in a New York Minute! he's the one for me...chosen by God. When we said our vows, six years ago, in front of a room full of family and friends, we meant every word. Forever and ever...I love you!
Today also holds another special memory for us. Just two short years ago, Nathaniel and I were getting ready to go out for dinner to celebrate our 4th anniversary. I had not been feeling well, and we were anxiously waiting for our next infertility appointment. To our surprise...probably better described as PURE SHOCK...I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. Two years ago today, we discovered that Carson was growing inside of me. A MIRACLE from God...no infertility treatments needed. It is a day neither of us will ever forget. Though we will not see Carson again this side of Heaven, we will always treasure the months we had with him in my belly, and can't wait to hold him in our arms again! He's waiting for us too...safe in the arms of Jesus. We love you sweet boy!
So yes. We are celebrating here again. We are celebrating love, commitment, joy, marriage, forever, Carson, Heaven, and of course, the reason for it all...Jesus!
